WALTER LIPPMANN, noted political col umnist, is worried about the Dresidential cam paign. He thinks this campaign should be conducted on a higher plane than any recently preceding it, be cause of the gravity of the present American and world crisis. We quote : The event Is so great that all who are capable of under standing it must know that the usual complacency and cynicism, the usual calculation and chicanery of politics are inadmissible today. A standard of behavior, which in nor. ma I times would perhaps be priggish and pedantic, is Im posed upon us now by the fact that we have to collect our selves to face the greatest ordeal of our lives and to deal with the most fateful events in our whole experience. Therefore, Mr. Lippmann asks the partisans on both sides of the political fence to keep "calm, cool, fair and disinterested," so that whether the Republi cans or Democrats win, half of the American voters will NOT be "sullenly hating the next President of the United States," Toward this end the author of "Today and To morrow" would rule out the following partisan con tentions (again quoting) : From the Democratic side, no truck can be had with the charge that Mr. Willkle Is an "appeaser," in other words that he is prepared to surrender any of the vital interests, of his country. Mr. Willkie is not an appeaser and could be driven to become one only If the country were so weakened by internal division that a coherent defense of American in terests had become impossible. No truck can be had with the Democratic argument that Mr. Willkie is an agent of plutocracy out to grind the faces of the poor. He is not, and no good purpose is served by the incitement of class feeling against him. No truck can be had with the innuendo that he has any conscious or unconscious bias towards Nazism. He has not a trace; on the contrary, he is, if anything, more peculiarly resistant than most to the Nazi philosophy. . PROM the Republican side, no truck can be had with the argument that Mr. Roosevelt is conspiring to involve this country in the European war. It would be much truer to say that he has been timid and hesitant, and has done too little and has often done it too late, in taking those positive measures which Insulate this country against the conse quences of a catastrophe in Europe. In all fairness it must, however, be recognized that he has had to deal with a very unenlightened opposition. fO truck can be had with the Republican argument that 'Mr. Rodsevelt is a dictator or is conspiring to become one. Mr. Roosevelt is no dictator: those who call him a dic tator do not know. what a dictator is. Nor is he conspiring to become a dictator. There is not one shred of evidence to support the charge. fO truck can be had with the Republican argument that ' Mr. Roosevelt is seeking subtly to destroy the regime of private property. He is not. He has. no doubt, done many things which were unwise, many things which weaken the self-reliance of the people and the sense of responsibility among local communities. But so did his predecessors when they allowed free enterprise to run wild. Their errors and his errors are important and need to be debated and must be remedied. But they should not be debated as If they were crimes. For they are not crimes. . . . . THESE are the malignant issues of the campaign and if they were cut out and put away as they should be, the real issue of the campaign would emerge and could be con sidered honestly. The issue is whether Mr. Roosevelt or Mr. Willkie is the better able to organize the internal and external security of the United States. There is no other issue. All the other issues are trivial, or they are tricks, dodges, stunts to divert the people. QUITE RIGHT, Walter, quite right, and to all a FERVENT "AMEN!" But we have no illusions, and can't believe Mr. Lippmann really has, that this admirable advice will ever be followed, or that the coming campaign will really be fought out on any such logical, impersonal and high-minded lines. No, regrettable as it is, that is not the way "we the people" elect our Presidents. If Mr. Lippmann needs to be convinced let him descend from his "ivory tower," and spend a few days in this, or any other daily newspaper sanctum, look over the incoming mail, signed and unsigned. We doubt if a single political communication has been, or will be received at this office which fails to seriously advance the validity of at least one of the arguments Mr. Lippmann, the country's "most intelli gent political commentator" outlaws. Unquestionably Mr. Lippmann outlines the pro cedure that in the present world crisis SHOULD be followed, but, unless this campaign is different than all of its predecessors, most certainlv WON'T be. It's a riTV, but "pity 'tis, 'tis TRUE!" Unduly Apprehensive THERE is one Lippmann fear however, which this department does not share, namely, that unless the bitterness and rancor of this campaign is elimi nated, when the shan. battle is finally over, one-half of the voters will sullenly hate the victor. No, that again isn't the way "we the people" do such things. We do go to perfectly childish extremes, we insist upon believing and advancing all sorts of things we believe at the time, but winch are NOT true. We get frightfully excited and often come to blows. But when it is all over and the battle has been lost, or won, We invariably snap out of the psychosis, call by gones bygones, and looking back at the recent un pleasantness, wonder how we could have been such complete damned fools. Whereupon we get behind the winning candidate, whoever he may be, and are good fnough sports to give him at least a decent chance to make good on some of the glowing promises he made. THIS clearing of the political atmosphere after the 1 votes have been tabulated has always been true in the past. It will be particularly true this year. if. as Lippmann and many other well informed observers fear, the United States will be in danger from abroad in the late Fall.

CORRECTION OF O I am at a loss to explain it, i but I always assume that fel- low with outstanding ears is! pugnacious, ill-tempered and of I a mean disposition, and this in spite of the! fect that the fellows with o u t s t a nding ears I have! known w e r e generally good; natured, kind ly and alto gether likeable guys. How do we get that way? If you have 0 u i s t a nding ears and doubt that you are endowed with the right person ality to compensate for the ef fect on P. A. it is comparatively simple to have the fault cor-j rected. Pfrhane anv 0ood doctor , . . ,., '-,: i,,,. , could do the opera ion but no cvcijf uui-iui .nun. tiiotij special maneuvers or twists of the wrist which the sculptural or "plastic" surgeon employs to insure perfect healing after auch corrective operations. In the present backward state of prac tice it is not quite "ethical" for the doctor who limits his prac tice to sculptural or plastic or reconstructive surgery to an- nounce the fact on his offitej door. There the oculist, the nose and throat specialist, the general' surgeon, the dermatologist and! a dozen other kinds of special ists have the advantage of him, for they can and do inform the public that their practice is limi. ted to this or that field. So, in order to find a reliable plastic or sculptural surgeon, you must ask your doctor to recommend one for you, or else you may I write to me and I II name one as near as I can find on my list. Outstanding ears may be cor rected under local anesthesia in the sculptural surgeon's office. It looks a simple twist of the wrist, but I don't know the half of it. He first injects a local anesthetic, waits until sensation is absent, then makes an incis ion along the line where the ear and side of head meet. He neat ly removes an elliptical piece of skin and ear cartilage from be hind each ear, according to ex act measurements, and sutures the skin margins together by in terrupted silk sutures.

C, Sept. 16. Unless something upsets the applecart, the navy department will place contracts in the Columbia-Willamette river area for naval vessels, the cost aggregat ing several million dollars. Type of vessel considered for con struction in the area is of the : destroyer variety tenders for submarines and for seaplanes. Those for the submarines are j about 500 feet long, for sea- ! planes about 300 feet. i It is also possible that con tracts will he awarded for the 1 manufacture of gun mounts. This latter matter is now being considered by the war depart ment. One difficulty in capttiring some of this war business for Oregon is financing. So much mnnes- i invnls'rl trtr .nuinnin.

Reconstruc tion Finance corporation offers to provide capital for concerns receiving a government order, hut the agencies issuing orders do not wish to let a contract until they are certain a plant is equipped to fill it. If RFC would make a loan permitting a plant to prepare for an order, the order would quickly follow; but RFC declines to do this, saying it is against the RFC policy. I One consequence is that gov ernment orders are going to old and w e 1 1-fin.ineed establish nients while small concerns are handicapped j ...

Switzerland la today sn Island 'completely surrounded by German controlled countries. Representatives of the Swiss company ran not get out to come to the United States to continue negotiations, and the Swiss government does not want to see all the money required for a plant In Oregon taken from that country. Such, at least.

Recently much criticism haa been heard that Bonneville waa sitting Idly by while TV A wsa grabbing In dustries.

Communications Any Professor Can Explain It To the editor: Speaking for myself, I am not much impress ed with your new discovered love for Mr. Willkie. Since when has a member of Tam many Hall, a corporation law yer and a president of a hold ing company (an unholy trinity) been a champion of the people in this country. A fox may change the color of his fur in winter but he doesn't change his nature, or do you expect such a miracle from I Mr. Willkie yet? ) It is true that Mr. Roosevelt has not solved the problem of I unemployment because y e s, I because he is Roosevelt and not Hitler. The reasons you should I have known too. or don't you? Otherwise any professor of eco nomics could tell you the way. I Yes, President Roosevelt spent billions of dollars (and Mr. Will kie and his corporation got a 'share too) but jo has Mr. Hitler, since '33. The difference is ob vious, we still have plenty, you know yourself how much the Germans have left. Butter versus guns. In this country' I can still, without fear, tell you to jump into the lake, if I don't like your editorials, knowing that you cannot send the state police to hound me.

The maximum sentence Is 80 years. SCALISE is a convicted rack eteer. He stole money from his own union. It would be absurd to claim that all union officials are rack eteers. Any sensible person knows better. Yet here is one who Is. HARD-BOILED reactionaries, steeped in the traditions of the past, will argue that be cause there are occasional rack eteers among union officials the whole svstem of labor unionism should be done away with. Hard-boiled demagogs, seeR inff nnwer for themselves, shout thai horause here and there bad business men exist all business is bad and should be destroyed. THE wise, sound, patriotic method is to punish the la bor racketeers and the Dad dusi ness men and to encourage the good labor leaders and the good business men. BUT in that wise and tolerant method there is no nourish ment for the demagogs. They prefer to use the exceptional cases of crookedness and selfish ness to fan the fires of class hatred. Fifth columnists, of course, are dangerous. But our real menace in this country is the conscienceless demagog. THE senate votes today (Sat urday) to give the govern ment authority to take over in dustrial plants when necessary to get defense orders fulfilled. That Is right. The government must have such power if we are to prepare efficiently to defend ourselves against attack. All business men are not pat riots. Those wo are not must be forced. If we are to draft the man who refuses to co-operate in the fighting we must also draft the industry that refuses to co-operate in providing wea pons for the fighters. That Is as plain as the nose on your face. THE next thing to dp (if we are to protect our democ racy from all forms of attack) is to secure an administration that will not be open to the grave suspicion of using such extreme powers to socialize in dustry.
